George Town to Long Island

Hey again to all..we shoved off from George Town on Sunday and made it to Long Island Sunday afternoon... Beautiful, fun, and easy trip.... Long Island is so pretty... so clean and the people just keep getting friendlier.... Monday was a work day on the SeaVeyor... and watched the George Town Rally folks come in under sail... It's a fun race that they have each year... Probably 25 boats or more involved in the actual race, some came Sunday (committee boats and us onlookers) and the racing boats on Monday... Fun to watch and listen to all the jabbs on the radio!!

Tuesday, most got together for a lunch at Club Thompson Bay... good ole Bahamian cooking.. There were six of us "newbies" sitting at one table... we did not know a "test" was part of the activitiy before lunch... It was 25 questions about all of the Bahamas,etc... Well, we did get 11 right.. but were last in line for the buffet!!!!!!!!The ones with the most correct answers went first... heck, I thought we did pretty good... After that, back to SeaVeyor for a couple of hours to recoup.. and then back to the beach for a group shot of the rally folks.. guess who made the pick???? Yep....but Dwayne's in the picture... After the little gathering on the beach, came back to the SV for our own happy hour with Nimue, Lion's Paw, and Blue Blazes... Wonderful fun, and crazy folks.. (all on sailing boats ) It was a fun nite..

Today, we moved closer to the Long Island Breeze Resort.. It's closer to all stores, etc... and a good anchorage... Tonite, all cruisers are getting together for a PotLuck supper... I made some home made bread yesterday...hey, it was good too......will take it along for tonite...

We plan to be here for several days, will keep you updated, etc... Will make better pics as we explore the island.. More news at 11 ................
